This paper proposes a new doctrinal criterion in order to distinguish between the two types of inter-regional agreements found in the article 145.2 of the Spanish Constitution, which Spanish law treats very differently. The first type is dealt with through Collaboration Agreements to provide and manage their own services; and the second with Co-operation Agreements. We give the grounds of our defending a criterion that helps to define both kinds of agreement to ensure a better fit with recent practice and the will expressed in the Constitution.

Federalism consists of decentralization & multilateral co-operation. The key institutions of a socially efficient federal model are the following: the division of powers between central & regional governments, elections that do not coincide & that thus allow the formation of different political majorities in the center & in the regions, the existence of numerous territorial entities that avoid the dominance of any one entity, & a symmetric upper -- and lower -- house system which promotes multilateral co-operation. The most favorable institutional context for the stability of federalism or "vertical" division of power is the horizontal division of power, that is, a multiparty central government.

The objective of this essay is to analyze the effects of the minimal nominal wage, a monetary aggregate and the exchange rate on the price level using the Johansen procedure for co-integration. The empirical evidence indicates the existence of a long term relationship among those variables and the price level that can be interpreted as a price equation. The econometric model allows establishing the specific weights of each of these variables. (Rev Econ Polit/DÜI)
